Been banging heavily as of late to this ultra-fierce tropics-dripping jam by Orlando, Florida glo-fi duo Southern Nights, a slick and sleazy late night trip that's been dubbed "purpwave" by the group - whatever that might mean in detail. Just another example of slow-burning, 80s-leaning synth extravaganza, but for a change one that refreshingly stands out against the still rising surge of nostalgic pop monotony with its seriously sultry rooftop erotica vibe (if you know what I mean). Oh those summer nights.
Grass or Gasoline is part of Southern Nights' pretty damn fine Peninsula Music Mixtape which is available for pay-what-you-want over at bandcamp.

Also, check out the dudes' remix of Hymn Eola by the mighty Tonstartssbandht, which in fact basically is just the original with beats, but honestly someone had to do it:
